Chapter 1 An Injustice! An Injustice!!

In the Black Star Palace's exclusive training room, the Arcane Apprentice by the door couldn't stand the silence and kept muttering to the two sparring in the arena, full of anger.

Han Xiao raised his hand to shatter a Sacred Light Impact from Aurora and couldn't help but pick at his ear. It felt like he was developing calluses.

Ever since learning that Han Xiao had found a host for the Sacred Light Particle, the Chaotic Arcane Energy's mentality had immediately become unbalanced.

He originally wanted to drag his old buddy down with him, so they could happily be tool-abilities together, so he wouldn't be lonely trapped in a lifeless vessel. But he didn't expect that even though he was the one who did the initial work, the Sacred Light Particle was treated so much better.

Why can you find a host, while I'm stuck inside a metal can?!

I want a fragrant host too!

These days, whenever Han Xiao called him out, the Chaotic Arcane Energy would nag him non-stop.

"Host! Host! Host!"

Han Xiao was helpless. "Can you stop nagging?"

"I will nag!"

A vein popped on Han Xiao's forehead, and he couldn't help but say, "Do you want me to activate the Arcane Apprentice's silent mode, so you can't even speak!"

Hearing this, the Chaotic Arcane Energy did indeed quiet down.

Being trapped in a tool was bad enough. It was only because Black Star was kind that he had given him permission to speak. If he couldn't even speak, he wouldn't have any entertainment at all.

However, the Chaotic Arcane Energy was still indignant. After a dozen seconds of silence, he couldn't help but speak again, his tone weak, like an abused wife: "But I want a host too..."

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. "How old are you guys? Can you have some dignity? Are all original abilities as debauched as you guys?"

The Sacred Light Particle, who was happily watching the show, snorted. "Nonsense, most original abilities have calm personalities. It's all because of Chaotic Arcane Energy that our reputation has been ruined!"

The Chaotic Arcane Energy was furious. "Shut up, will you? How much better are you?"

"Ah, it's so comfortable inside the host's body, so much warmer than a tin can."

The Sacred Light Particle had a lazy tone.

It comfortably coiled inside Aurora's body, receiving the nourishment of her life ability. It was as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring. No matter how the Chaotic Arcane Energy scolded him, it only used this method to provoke the other party, gloating.

Listening to the two abilities arguing, Han Xiao couldn't help but rub his temples.

These two must be the bottom line of morality among the original abilities...

"Alright, that's it for today. No more training." Han Xiao waved his hand.

Hearing this, Aurora obediently withdrew her ability. The noisy Sacred Light Particle was immediately like a duck being strangled, seemingly emitting a "hiss" of leaking air, and was instantly silenced.

"That... Uncle, how did I do?"

Aurora looked a little nervous.

Because she wasn't a combat-type personnel before, she rarely received combat training from Han Xiao. The only few times were as Hela's support, and that was many years ago.

In combat training, Han Xiao wasn't as easygoing as usual, but quite strict.

Aurora had a lot of backing, and usually didn't have many opportunities to fight alone, so her experience in direct combat was limited, so she was afraid that she wouldn't perform well.

"It's alright, your opportunity choices need to be smarter..." Han Xiao called Aurora to him and began to guide her hand-in-hand.

After Aurora mastered the Sacred Light Particle, she had combat power. Although she usually wouldn't have the opportunity to fight, Han Xiao still personally trained her to help her master the combat techniques of the Sacred Light Particle.

By the way, Han Xiao also tested the Sacred Light Particle's characteristic of punishing evil. This function was particularly metaphysical, and the standard for judging evil depended on the heart of the host and the target.

The punishment effect he received was very weak. According to the Sacred Light Particle's feedback, in Aurora's heart, he was a great figure and didn't feel that Han Xiao was evil at all. The slight damage mainly came from Han Xiao's inner judgment of himself, and he never thought he was a good person...

After guiding her for a while, Han Xiao sent Aurora away and summoned Phillip to inquire about the changes in the legion after the public announcement of the Sacred Light Seed System.

The announcement of the Sacred Light Particle had been sent out for many days, and its impact was significant. Branches in various star fields had welcomed a large number of applicants. The legion naturally had to screen them, and wouldn't recruit just anyone, and this salary expenditure was not a small number.

The good news was that the vast majority of ordinary people were coming for the opportunity to obtain extraordinary power. Their purpose was clear, which meant they were resistant to pressure.

So Han Xiao felt at ease and let Sylvia lower the basic salary of these newcomers to save expenses, so that he could recruit more people at the same cost. Anyway, these people didn't come for the money, which allowed the legion to obtain a large number of cheap labor. And in order to accumulate merits, these people would definitely work hard and basically wouldn't slack off.

What, is this exploitation?

No, no, no, this is called striving for dreams.

The ability to draw cakes is a compulsory course for a qualified leader.

After reading the skyrocketing performance of the legion's various businesses, Han Xiao nodded with satisfaction and asked about another matter:

"How is the legion martial arts competition plan that I asked Sylvia to plan? Let me see it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the virtual screen in front of him switched to a planning document, which was the plan that Sylvia had planned.

Han Xiao browsed through it carefully. Sylvia basically designed it according to the framework he had given. Sparring and fighting was only one of the projects, and there were also various technical, sports, and entertainment competitions. The projects were varied, with the most being sports and entertainment.

Moreover, legion members could also apply for projects themselves. As long as they were reliable, they could be adopted. Han Xiao had no doubt that players would apply for soccer and turn the style into Shaolin soccer.

According to the strength of the legion members, one grade was divided into one group to ensure that they encountered competitors of the same level. At the same time, he decided to give players the right to choose whether to be a separate group or choose to participate in the grade group where the NPCs were.

Of course, such activities could not be without incentives. Different groups and projects would be given generous rewards by the legion as long as they got good rankings, so as to ensure that most legion soldiers were interested in participating.

And in order to allow members who did not participate or were eliminated early to participate, Sylvia suggested that the official open a betting platform and set up bets for each project and event.

In this way, the attention of the entire legion could be obtained. As a warlord organization, there were quite a lot of gamblers. Even people who didn't like to gamble would be driven by the majority.

At the same time, they could also be the bookmaker to make money and earn back the cost of the event. Sylvia even planned to sell tickets and charge broadcast fees to broadcast to the universe, which was a way to make money.

Han Xiao thought this method was very good. Maybe he could take this opportunity to operate a sports league, just like the leagues of various sports activities in his previous life, and create a platform for superhumans to show themselves. It was estimated that it would have a lot of audience in the entire universe.

In the future, maybe other Super-A Grade forces could also be allowed to join. Since the development of the association could prevent armed conflicts, perhaps this kind of competition could be used as a form of showing strength and letting his subordinates promote the power of the force.

"According to the planning of this plan, this will be a grand event for the entire legion to participate in, which will affect the efficiency of normal work, but the cohesion bonus brought by this kind of large-scale faction activity is very considerable. Not only players, but also normal legion members need to be adjusted outside of work, just like schools organize sports meets... or team building?" Han Xiao muttered in his heart.

For players, the focus of the Flickering World version was to use the wave of the times to fight each other. The ultimate goal of the clubs was to achieve good results in the international league.

So if he, as an NPC, held a larger-scale competition that would be held before the version, it would inevitably be sought after by players and become a warm-up for the professional league, stealing the attention. In this way, the attraction of the faction would be sublimated from a powerful organization with many benefits to a competition organizer in the eyes of players.

If they wanted to participate in the legion martial arts competition, they would have to join the legion. If they belonged to other camps, they would not be able to participate in this event. Once the player group recognized the importance of the legion martial arts competition, then the legion would become a force that many players had to join.

"This kind of large-scale faction activity is not suitable for being too frequent. It is best to hold it once every five to ten years, and it must have a catchy name. The legion martial arts competition is too unremarkable."

Thinking of his terrible naming talent, Han Xiao was not confident, so he simply pulled out Phillip.

"You give me a name."

Phillip tilted his head: "Why not call it the Legion Grand Carnival... buzzing?"

Han Xiao's face twitched. Why don't you call it the Spring Festival Gala?

"It's too corny, change it to something cool."

"Then... Star Sea Super Sudden! Black Star Legion Peak Tyrant Universe First Martial Arts Tournament! Buzzing!"

Damn it, what kind of messy information did that group of Japanese players upload to Phillip?

"Let's be a little more simple..."

Phillip changed a few names, and Han Xiao decided that the official name was Black Star Cup All-Army League, or Black Star Cup for short. It was concise and highlighted his name.

After improving the plan, Han Xiao sent it to Sylvia and decided to issue the announcement of the first Black Star Cup on another day. Such a large-scale event would take a lot of time to prepare. He decided to refer to the player's professional league and send out a notice to generate hype first.

The scale of the Black Star Cup was much larger than the professional league. The professional league was just for the players to play, while this was for the entire legion to participate. Although there were more than eight million legion players, compared to the total number of the entire legion, this was just a small number.

However, now that most players had reached the B-grade level, their importance was not the same. They were already the backbone of the legion's mid-level power.

In the universe, B-grade superhumans were a middle-level force. In any non-Super-A Grade force, they could be considered experts, and many Super-A Grade forces did not have as many B-grade warriors as the legion players.

In the past few months, he had been in the limelight a lot and needed to digest the impact. It was a good time to turn his attention to the interior of the legion. This was the best time to hold the Black Star Cup.

Moreover, Han Xiao had another more important goal...

The period when players' desire to spend was the strongest was before each version of the professional league—every time there was a large-scale event, players would generously spend money and turn it into combat power.

Now the Flickering World was gradually transitioning from the early stage to the middle stage. Although no players had reached max level yet, after nearly a year of accumulation, many players' wallets had become full again.

"Some leeks... are ripe."

Han Xiao sighed softly.

It seemed that a gleam flashed on the sickle.
